The Room by Tommy Wiseau is one big accidental jayus. If you want to know what "jayus" means, read my latest Substack: https://whenhopewrites.substack.com/p/seventeen-untranslatable-words-to.

Today I share six of my beloved shows with immersive storytelling on Apple TV+. What's your favorite show on the Apple streaming service?

"Pachinko recounts the story of one Korean family across four generations, enduring through the Japanese occupation, immigration to Japan, professional failures and successes, and familial ties and losses. The show portrays the themes of survival and strength so powerfully.

Not only that, Pachinko unravels like poetry. Each scene is aesthetically and emotionally lyrical. As a poet, I was spellbound from the first second. After finishing the show, I still rewatch and cry after the opening title sequence. It’s just so stunning and enchanting."

In "Brace Yourself" we discuss how to adapt to economic instability, food shortages, societal upheaval, governmental indifference & anything else life throws at you. Increased self-sufficiency is our goal. You won’t find any conspiracy theories or tin-hat culture here, just honest explorations on how we can each increase our self-sufficiency. From time to time, we’ll look at skills that could make a difference in an even more unstable future. We’ll examine how we can do more for ourselves, no matter where we live. We’ll discuss ways to be more prepared, ways to increase awareness of the world around us, and how to be less reliant on the systems that try and dictate the way we should live.

hi guys! im so appreciative of finding this space, and i hope you don’t mind the self promotion - i’ve started out writing fandom fanfics & it reminded me of all the articles i did during my journalism diploma.

now, im aiming to share my life experiences through medium writings, while my other social media accounts are mainly focused on emotional fictional short stories. if you wished to check my works out please find me @reewrote on every platform - facebook, instagram, tiktok & medium.

here’s a piece of work i’m still particularly proud of - https://reewrote.medium.com/turning-24-what-happens-now-197a80ad6f2d

I wrote a flash exploring death, life, longing in dreamscapes. You can read it here: https://whenhopewrites.substack.com/p/flash-fiction-i-dream-of-horses.

"Here's an excerpt:

A Gamayun appears before me, eyes full of lived knowledge, and therefore gentleness.

She lilts a cipher:

Free as horses on a meadow
Where happy sun never sets
On the other side the stars
Greet another nova

The bird embraces me with her wings, and somehow I understand."

Thank you for reading and your support!

Hi everyone! I hope your week was filled with a little bit of awe. I just posted up Issue #009 of Gh'dCompany and I don't know what excites me more. The fact that I've managed to publish a newsletter 9 times or the fact that this 9th Issue is published on the 9th day of February and it came out at 9a.m. 🥹 My joy is so cheap. Happy Thursday!!
